Only if you look at art in a vacuum
Art isn't just the creative output, its the culture that made it and what comes with that. In this case, the business decisions of Paradox directly effected the art
You should totally ignore internet comments and enjoy games but dont dismiss what shapes the art

So thats CoD, Arc Raiders and The Alters in for games that 'Used AI Slop But Dont Think We'd Notice or Care'
Call of Duty isn't even hiding the fact that loads of its calling cards and other unlockables are AI generated this year.
For one of the biggest video game franchises in the world this is pretty disgusting...

I won't lie - I think this is rad as hell and I kinda want to jump in a game with the folks putting it together.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.
